Release 2024.1 is now available; it is a major release that contains new features.

NOTE: PHP 8.1 IS REQUIRED for this upgrade.

We will begin scheduling 2024.1 updates on customer Test systems starting on January 29th, 2024.

Please review the Database Changes in 2024.1 and make any necessary changes to your AdHoc Grids, Custom Events, and API calls.

Review and Refresh Session(s)

We are planning two technical overview sessions for the new functionality.

The first session is scheduled for January 22, 2024, at 11:00 AM Eastern, and the second is scheduled for January 24, 2024, at 3:00 PM Eastern.

Added a Custom Report Writer

The Custom Report Writer utilizes built-in PCR-360 Custom Logic, the Smarty HTML Templating Engine, and the Bootstrap v4.0 CSS Framework to render customized, distinctly formatted reports. The functionality allows for:

PDF downloads
Emailed reports
Reports saved with data
Batch processing

Reports can be easily accessed within the system via Bookmarks, linked directly on any form, or on most grids in the application. They are also available to end-users in CustomerCenter.

Note: This update officially deprecates the Crystal Report functionality. It will only remain available if you are currently using Crystal Reports.
